Insurance company have confirmed I will lose 2 years no claims bonus. That'll be the 2 years no claims bonus I have all gone then

I could pay for repairs myself, but the dealer implied very, very expensive - door skins not available for MB's (apparently), so new doors in order

Misery, misery, misery

Nice result for you in the end though ro0zy.

Totally sucks, man. There is nothing worse than having some soulless, heartless, nutless, brainless, bassturd damage your baby and not have the ***** to admit it/pay for it.

If I had to guess, it was Thai.

Same thing happened to me, EXCEPT I was driving my father-in-law's SL500. Imagine that phone call. He was sure cool about it.

I think that insurance companies are such a rip off! Think about it you spend 1200 to 3000 a year for insurance to cover you incase this kind of crap happens and unfortunatly it does happen one day and then they hike the prices up on you! I am thinking about opening my own insurance company, hell, if i could get a couple of costomers paying 100 a month and if anything happens, speeding ticket or accident, charge them more! I would be freeken rich!

Sorry to hear about your car!
